Chapter 15: Micropower System Modeling with Homer”, in Integration of Alternative Sources of Energy by Felix A. Farret and M. Godoy Simoes

The HOMER Micropower Optimization Model is a computer model developed by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to assist in the design of micropower systems and to facilitate the comparison of power generation technol-ogies across a wide range of applications. HOMER models a power system’s phy
